Synopsis: This classic novel tells the story of a vivid neighborhood in Brooklyn populated by hard-working immigrants challenged by grinding poverty. But, more importantly, it tells the tale of 11-year old Francie and how books transport her to other places and possibilities.

& How did poverty impact the characters in the book?
& What ethical dilemmas exist in the book that are worthy of discussion?
& What major idea(s) do you take away from this book that could help you be a better teacher?
& What major idea(s) from the book are worthy of discussion with our students?
